Well, well, aren't we the walking wounded?! Where the mind leads the body will follow. Stay positive, work around the injury the best you can. Your a winner and you can do it. (sounds so lame but it is so true)

I'm better. Went back to the chiro last Monday and got the green light to train as I normally do again. I've been easing back into it this week. Squatted yesterday for the first time in a long time and just stuck with 135 pounds to get back into the swing of things. Benched 185x5 last week too, which I was pretty happy with.

It'll be a couple weeks before I am doing anything heavier, but no worries. At least I'm better!

Yes, out of gear until probably January 2010. I'll be working on form, technique, and general strength conditioning while I prep for NPC Nationals. Haven't figured out exactly what my training program will look like for the next 13 weeks yet, but I'll start logging again once I do!

Hey guysHere's a little update. I'm just about 8 weeks out from Nationals and dropping alot of weight now. I weighed 129.6 this morning!

Still training hard although not heavy... hitting the big three at least once a week, if not twice, doing alot of high volume. Basically incorporating alot of sheiko stuff into my contest prep training along with some ancillaries and alot of strength/conditioning and core work.

I'm going to a Functional Training Seminar this weekend that should be pretty interesting.

Back is recovered and holding up. No need to go heavy right now.Feeling pretty good for 8 weeks out... haven't hit the wall yet. And I know that when I come back to the PL training, I will be better and stronger than ever!
